Wanting to send a small gift to my grand daughter for her birthday I decided to make her something. After a perusal of the options I decided on a pencil case and book mark. I found the heavyweight black fabric in my stash and then remembered that I had sorted through some very nice fabric scraps with black backgrounds a while back. These floral strips were just the right colour to coordinate with the zipper I had chosen so I used them to accent the pencil case and the bookmark. It took longer to decide on the project than it did to actually make it. It was a fun little project and I hope she will find them useful. Her large gift is one she is sharing with her siblings and because her brothers had their birthdays in February she already knows what it is. This will be nice little surprise for her!!
